The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Avala Hejje ( transl. Her footsteps) is a 1981 Indian Kannada-language film, directed by H. R. Bhargava, starring Dr. Vishnuvardhan, Lakshmi, Dr. Ambrish and Dwarakish. The film is a remake of 1977 Tamil film Thoondil Meen. In 1982, this film was remade in Telugu as Bandhalu Anubandhalu by the same director. Lakshmi herself was the producer of the Telugu version. She was also the heroine in all three versions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
